I have a storm with verizon that I plan on giving to someone so I want to wipe it clean of my info/files.

1. What is the best way to do this without connecting it my PC. I was thinking of activating the password and entering the wrong password several times. Will this method wipe the phone clean as if it is a completely new phone?

2. at this point, the phone (SIM card) is unlocked. If I reset the phone and wipe it clean, will I need to unlock the phone again or does it stay unlocked?

I believe it should be in the same location on 4.7. If you're running 5.0, try looking in Options > Password.

Once you're in the appropriate section you have to press the Menu Key. She mentions that by saying "Activate Menu".
